After warming the bench in England, Kuldeep Yadav reveals how the Duleep Trophy helped him regain rhythm for Asia Cup 2025.
Kuldeep finished the tournament as the highest wicket-taker with 17 scalps at an average of 9.29, and in the final against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday, he bamboozled the opposition batters to return excellent figures of 4/30 in four overs.
“When you have not played cricket for a long time you need rhythm… that was important for me and I played my first Duleep Trophy game in which I bowled a lot.
So, when I came for the tournament, my bowling was obviously going well,” Kuldeep said during a chat with teammate Rinku Singh, the video of which uploaded by BCCI on its website.
“My role was to control the runs in the middle overs and take wickets. The captain had a lot of faith in me, and I fulfilled my role very well,” a pleased Kuldeep added.
Along with Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel, Kuldeep formed a formidable spin troika that left batters clueless with their guile and variations.
